The total capacity of memory is given by:
2no. of address lines × No. of data lines.
Calculation:-
No. of address lines → 16[0−15]
No. of data lines → 8[0−7]
The total capacity of memory:-
→ 216 × 23
→ 210 × 26 × 23
→ 64 KB.

The capacity of an SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) can be calculated by multiplying the number of address lines with the data width. In this case, the SRAM has address lines from A0 to A15 and a data width from D0 to D7.
Number of address lines: A0 to A15
Number of data lines: D0 to D7
To calculate the capacity, we need to find the total number of addressable locations. This can be done by raising 2 to the power of the number of address lines. Since there are 16 address lines (A0 to A15), the total number of addressable locations is 2^16 = 65536.
The data width represents the number of bits that can be stored in each addressable location. In this case, the data width is 8 bits (D0 to D7).
Now, to find the total capacity of the SRAM, we need to multiply the number of addressable locations by the data width:
Total capacity = Number of addressable locations * Data width
Total capacity = 65536 * 8 bits
To convert the capacity to kilobytes (KB), we divide the total capacity by 1024:
Total capacity (in KB) = (65536 * 8) / 1024 = 512 KB
Therefore, the total capacity of the SRAM is 512 KB, which matches option C.
